To do: Dump unused text when text viewing is more stable.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions is a remake of the 2003 original for the Nintendo 3DS, now with an extra game mode centred around, well, Bowser's Minions.

Unused Graphics

Captain Beanie

To do: Where is this located?

A Beanie with a blue flag, which appears to be incomplete due to the flag not animating, exists in the game's data. It may have been an early idea for how enemy captains would look before they were made to look the same as other enemies.

Dummy field map models

To do: Is it possible to load the said maps in game?

The FMapMdl.dat file has models named fmp_dummy01, all the way to fmp_dummy17, with the following textures, all being identical.

Placeholder screens

A portion of screens were copied from the GBA, most likely these were referenced by the developers.

Starbeans Café

The FMapMdl.dat file has a model named fmp_ev_cafe_01, with the following texture from the GBA release, but with green to block off the other screen.

Unused Music

00_Dummy.dspadpcm.bcstm	A file that has 30 seconds of well... complete silence... This is also internally named STRBGM_ISLAND in the sound archive.

Unused Sounds

To do: Is this used? Please check.

ys03_yoshi.dspadpcm.bcstm	A Yoshi saying "Yoshi!". Oddly this is also internally named STRM_SE_DUMMY in the sound archive.

WSD_ONE_SHOT_DUMMY01.bcwsd	A press on a Xylophone key?

WSD_ONE_SHOT_DUMMY02.bcwsd	Another press on a Xylophone key?

WSD_ONE_SHOT_DUMMY03.bcwsd	A beep?

WSD_ONE_SHOT_DUMMY01.bcwsd	?

WSD_ONE_SHOT_DUMMY02.bcwsd	?

WSD_ONE_SHOT_DUMMY03.bcwsd	Sounds similar to that sound for achieving 100 points in the Google Chrome dino minigame.

Unused Text

...But what does it mean? This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation!

To do: This sounds like text for a debug menu... Load it if possible.
